Quid Pro Quo

Altho' knowing that
nothing beats tit for tat
there's no call at all
to cooperate
if you don't wish
to participate
but if something you lack
and scratch my back
while one hand
washes the other
I'll scratch yours
which could be
accomplished
when down on all fours
however taking a gander
unseemly tho' it may be
what's good for the goose
is good for me

Who am I rooting for?

Who am I rooting for?
Everyone Black of course,
I am pro-black -
And against anything anti-black.

First and foremost,
Are my people,
EVERY.SINGLE.ONE.
The whole diaspora -
It doesn’t matter where you are from,
I love my people,
I’ll never stop,
No matter the nationality,
I am pro-black,
Black people have my heart,
I love us no matter what.

Who am I rooting for?
Everyone Black of course,
We are family,
Even if we are oceans apart,
Whether young or old,
Light or dark,
My people - they have my heart 

We only have each other,
And that is all we need,
We may agree to disagree,
On many different things - but that's what happens when your family,
Through thick and thin, we are a tight knit community.


If You Are Pro-Life, How Can You Support the Death Penalty

The robin sings beyond the gate,
The lilacs breathe the air of spring,
And morning, with her hands of light,
Awakens every living thing.

The child unborn, the aging man,
The weary soul who walks alone,
Each bears a spark against the dark,
A fragile flame that is his own.

If life is sacred at its dawn,
When hidden from the human eye,
What changes in the turning years
That makes another fit to die?

The stars do not divide their light,
The rain does not choose where to fall;
The earth beneath our passing feet
Receives and shelters one and all.

I ask no answer from the wind
That wanders through the silver trees,
Only a question soft and still
That trembles on the evening breeze:

If life is holy from the first,
A gift no hand should cast away,
Can it be less a gift at dusk
Than when it greeted us at day?

Some men are dogs

All men are dogs

Cephalopod Amour

“If you scratch my back,”
said the cuttlefish,
“I'll scratch yours, my dear,
for you're really quite a dish!”
“If we were to wed,
'neath overhead night starry,
upon the ocean bed,”
replied the calamari,
“just think,
when the ink
has dried,
together
we'll be tied,
I'll be your Belle,
you'll be my Beau,
and happily we'll be,
ever after... squid pro quo.”

Pro Tem

When I was
a young man
I wrote as
a young man

Needing music
and art
to deal
with the times

But now
as an old man
my heart
chases neither

While dwelling
inside
what this moment
— has found

Premium Member Pro Life Chop Shop

Pro life chop shops
sanctity botched
chain your baby makers
inspect your baby’s crotch 
laws ban
lives hang
hangers wrought and bought
the worst of how we’re natured

belts
you’re just another notch

fit in
or sin
resisting a rest
existing erased
pop up chop shops
for furl of brow and fraught 
the worst of how we’re natured

belts
you’re just another notch

Not for the worst
But for better.

I am for good
Good for better
For excellence.

I am for peace
Peace that progress
Best for the world.

Best interest
For human kind.

Premium Member The Life and Times of a 'Pro Jock'

    His spine curves right, then left
      one shoulder lower than another
    A hitch and a wobble in his gait
      couple shots of whiskey tempt fate

    A caddy, he calls himself a ‘pro jock’
      follows the sun to work year-round
    Wows the young jocks with mythical tales of the (PGA) tour
      ~ though his liver will rot before long, that’s for sure



    _______________________________________  
    A 'caddy' carries a heavy bag (or two!) of golf 
    clubs (usually) on one shoulder, traversing a
    golf course of four or more miles.

Bisgattii Mussu

class act
one hard to follow
more intriguing then
ah-bore
he thinks of all involved
when he performs
seen and unseen
his works are a class act
a showcase of talent
and sheer ability
it wouldn't suprise me if
millions of people would 
support his effords of
acheiving his goals
the right guidance
and the right
people around him
will help him
in his success
his failures might
not be as long as his runs
if he's lucky
it wouldn't hurt to have the
right corner man
and the
right trainers
to keep him focused
and someone to
get him seen as
a contender
and maybe even a champion
His Cucoloris is made
from his own works
lets see what he can do with it
